Value Added: Artists’ Perspectives on the Meaning of Worth opened on Wednesday. There is some really great work in it, including my piece Pay Dirt: Transforming the Economy. In 2008, troubled by the world-wide economic crisis, I wanted to see what happened if I composted shredded US Currency in my worm bin. After about six month the worms turned those toxic assets into black gold.
The Terrarium is a new addition and includes some of the original composed US Currency and some shredded cash as well. Thanks to Greenerynyc for help with the terrarium.
